In support of Bridgeton's All Sports Museum of Southern New Jersey, members of the Seabrook Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) and the Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center (SECC) viewed the museum's special exhibit "Stealing Home: How Jackie Robinson Changed America." From left, SECC trustee John Fuyuume, having lived in the same Pasadena, Calif., neighborhood as Jackie Robinson and attending the same high school, gave recollections of the baseball legend, known then as a football star. Sports Museum curator Eddie Forman and board member Kevin Danna receive a donation from JACL/SECC treasurer Stefanie Pierce.

It’s open Monday through Friday.

They’ve made door wreaths, crocheted dish towels and made soup holders, among other great Christmas gifts.

Not everyone knows that the center is located right next to the Cumberland Manor at 168 Sunny Slope Drive.

The bazaar runs through Dec. 20.

Some 40,000 people in New Jersey lost health coverage since March 2010 because of a little-publicized change in how people are deemed eligible for NJ FamilyCare.

The Christie administration set new strict limits on how much child support, unemployment and disability people may earn, leading to the loss in coverage just at the time someone loses a job.

A bill to change this has languished.
